I tried to ignore myself, but I keep talking to me.

 

Me too.

 

I'm sorry. Next time I will post exactly the link I read 15 days earlier to avoid any discomfort to you

 

anymore info about this? I'd love to install x64 on a new machine but missing some drivers. i have 2003 and vista drivers but how to make them work with XP64?

 

Yeah. Good luck with that.

What Micro$oft really needed at that point in time was a crystal ball and "forward compatibility"...
And backward compatibility for that matter.

They had none of that for XP x64, and that is a shame.

 

im just interested in how T-S modified the .infs. xp64 runs like a champ on several much newer systems i have but one of them i need a driver and theres no way it will be available so a driver file hack is worth a shot.

 

i would use xp64 over w7 on kaveri if i could find all the chipset drivers. ahci doesnt exist for xp64, so its back to the ide driver, fine, but i cannot find a 64bit display driver that works.

 

i talk to myself because i am the only person whose answers i am willing to accept

 

What is even worse is when you get into an arguement with yourself....
And lose.

 

10 characters.

 

I use it for the Carprog programmer, its the only OS that the software will use ....

 

Basically you need to "decorate" the 32 bit infs (there where a bunch of tutorials about that, jus google a bit)

Then use the sys/dll/exe from a corresponding vista driver. You may need to rename them or to adjust the names inside the inf.

 

a link or 2 would be handy though

thank you what was the search term used though?

 

xp64 inf decoration

 

thank you again. i like to have search results so i can piece things from diferent sources

 

its only the poxy display driver i need to find, amd has chipset drivers that work for xp 64bit.

 

alas my time with xp has come to an end. the final problem with 7 is now fixed so i have no need for xp anymore, or sticking to compatible kaveri hardware. so so long xp my old friend, it has been a long road, sometimes fun, sometimes not, but it was a long journey together nonetheless.
